Serious inquiries 💥 (Patreon)
Content
Hey guys ,
We are seeking some opinions from Patreon regarding a serious distribution matter . As you guys are Patreons who are already paying for content we think it would be best to also hear a third party opinion .
As you guys may know , we have been on tapas for quite some time , no we are not officially published by them , and no publisher owns the full exclusive rights to LMB . This allows us to be on more than one platform at a time . However we will now also be on INKR COMICS where the content there will be uncensored (only glow sticks and we can show our gore ) we will be able to be more free there. However, this is the problem , we will be a premium comic on inkr , but the editor told us for us to get the full potential out of LMB we should consider making it paid content on their platform , this is where the issue comes In.
Tapas doesn’t show any interest in putting LMB in the mature section of their platform and honestly we don’t really care , however we care about our readers and fan base that we have grown on tapas, we are sure our fan base would go wherever LMB goes but it’s still a risky decision. We can’t be free content on one platform and paid on the other , it doesn’t make any sense especially for that publisher , therefore we need to be paid content on all platforms or free on all platforms but it has to be one .
Also another problem about making LMB paid content now is we don’t feel comfortable with patreons having to pay again to read the story using the scroll methods that most platforms have , we know some if not, most of our patreons still read the chapters when we put them up on tapas to experience a more free reading experience than early access .
Although we know you don’t only pay for early access on Patreon but also more material and information and more safe space for discussion, it’s still a very serious decision.
We would love to hear your opinions, 1. Keep LMB as free so it can be on more platforms as a premium comic or 2. Make LMB paid content fully and leave tapas behind [if they don’t take our offer].
Please give us your opinions if you can and a detailed reason why, it would make it easier for us to put it into perspective.
Just to make it clear , LMB is owned by us fully, no platform will ever own the rights to LMB , which is why we will always have Patreon for early access and for other stuff, don’t worry about that , we won’t leave Patreon haha .
And if you have read this far, thank you for your time and consideration!
